CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER CONCEPT
Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals & ApplicationsFourth Edition

VELOCITY BOUNDARY LAYERVelocity boundary layer: The region of the flow above the plate bounded by in which the effects of the viscous
shearing forces caused by fluid viscosity are felt.The boundary layer thickness, , is typically defined as the
distance y from the surface at which u = 0.99V.The hypothetical line of u = 0.99V divides the flow over a
plate into two regions: Boundary layer region: The viscous effects and the
velocity changes are significant.Irrotational flow region: The frictional effects are
negligible and the velocity remains essentially constant.
![Page 14: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

THERMAL BOUNDARY LAYER
Thermal boundary layer on a flat plate (the fluid is hotter than the plate surface).
A thermal boundary layer develops when a fluid at a specified temperature flows over a surface that is at a different temperature.
Thermal boundary layer: The flow region over the surface in which the temperature variation in the direction normal to the surface is significant.The thickness of the thermal boundary layer t at any location along the
surface is defined as the distance from the surface at which the temperature difference T − Ts equals 0.99(T− Ts).
The thickness of the thermal boundary layer increases in the flow direction, since the effects
of heat transfer are felt at greater distances from the
surface further down stream.The shape of the temperature
profile in the thermal boundary layer dictates the convection heat transfer between a solid surface and the fluid flowing
over it.
![Page 15: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Development of the velocity profile in a circular pipe• A flow field is best characterized by its velocity distribution.
• A flow is said to be one-, two-, or three-dimensional if the flow velocity varies in one, two, or three dimensions, respectively.
• However, the variation of velocity in certain directions can be small relative to the variation in other directions and can be ignored.
The development of the velocity profile in a circular pipe. V = V(r, z) and thus the flow is two-dimensional in the entrance region, and
becomes one-dimensional downstream when the velocity profile fully develops and remains unchanged in the flow direction, V = V(r).

BOILING AND CONDENSATION
![Page 17: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
BOILING HEAT TRANSFER• Evaporation occurs at the liquid–vapor interface
when the vapor pressure is less than the saturation pressure of the liquid at a given temperature.
• Boiling occurs at the solid–liquid interface when a liquid is brought into contact with a surface maintained at a temperature sufficiently above the saturation temperature of the liquid.
![Page 18: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Classification of boiling
• Boiling is called pool boiling in the absence of bulk fluid flow.
• Any motion of the fluid is due to natural convection currents and the motion of the bubbles under the influence of buoyancy.
• Boiling is called flow boiling in the presence of bulk fluid flow.
• In flow boiling, the fluid is forced to move in a heated pipe or over a surface by external means such as a pump.

Subcooled Boiling• When the
temperature of the main body of the liquid is below the saturation temperature.
Saturated Boiling• When the
temperature of the liquid is equal to the saturation temperature.
![Page 20: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

POOL BOILING
Boiling takes different forms, depending on the Texcess = Ts Tsat
In pool boiling, the fluid is not forced to flow by a mover such as a pump.
Any motion of the fluid is due to natural convection currents and the motion of the bubbles under the influence of buoyancy.
Boiling Regimes and the Boiling Curve
![Page 21: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 22: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Natural Convection Boiling (to Point A on the Boiling Curve)
• Bubbles do not form on the heating surface until the liquid is heated a few degrees above the saturation temperature (about 2 to 6°C for water)
• The liquid is slightly superheated in this case (metastable state).
• The fluid motion in this mode of boiling is governed by natural convection currents.
• Heat transfer from the heating surface to the fluid
is by natural convection.
• For the conditions of Fig. 10–6, natural convection
boiling ends at an excess temperature of about 5°C.
![Page 23: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
• The bubbles form at an increasing rate at an increasing number of nucleation sites as we move along the boiling curve toward point C.
Nucleate Boiling (between Points A and C)
• Region A–B ─ isolated bubbles.
• Region B–C ─ numerous continuous
columns of vapor in the liquid.
Point A is referred to as the onset of nucleate
boiling (ONB).
![Page 24: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
• In region A–B the stirring and agitation caused by the entrainment of the liquid to the heater surface is primarily responsible for the increased heat transfer coefficient.
• In region A–B the large heat fluxes obtainable in this region are caused by the combined effect of liquid entrainment and evaporation.
• For the entire nucleate boiling range, the heat transfer coefficient ranges from about 2000 to 30,000 W/m2·K.
• After point B the heat flux increases at a
lower rate with increasing Texcess, and reaches a maximum at
point C.
• The heat flux at this point is called the
critical (or maximum) heat flux, and is of prime engineering
importance.
![Page 25: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Transition Boiling (between Points C and D)
• When Texcess is increased past point C, the heat flux decreases.
• This is because a large fraction of the heater surface is covered by a vapor film, which acts as an insulation.
• In the transition boiling regime, both nucleate and film boiling partially occur.
• Operation in the transition boiling regime, which is also called the unstable
film boiling regime, is avoided in practice.
• For water, transition boiling occurs over the excess temperature range from
about 30°C to about 120°C.
![Page 26: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Film Boiling (beyond Point D• Beyond point D the heater
surface is completely covered by a continuous stable vapor film.
• Point D, where the heat flux reaches a minimum is called the Leidenfrost point.
• The presence of a vapor film between the heater surface and the liquid is responsible for the low heat transfer rates in the film boiling region.
• The heat transfer rate increases with increasing excess temperature due to radiation to the liquid.
![Page 27: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Burnout Phenomenon
• A typical boiling process does not follow the boiling curve beyond point C.
• When the power applied to the heated surface exceeded the value at point C even slightly, the surface temperature increased suddenly to point E.
• When the power is reduced gradually starting from point E the cooling curve follows Fig. 10–8 with a sudden drop in excess temperature when point D is reached.
![Page 28: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Any attempt to increase the heat flux beyond qmax will cause the operation point on the boiling curve to jump suddenly from
point C to point E. However, surface temperature that corresponds to point E is
beyond the melting point of most heater materials, and burnout
occurs. Therefore, point C on the boiling curve is also called the burnout
point, and the heat flux at this point the burnout heat flux.
Most boiling heat transfer equipment in practice operate
slightly below qmax to avoid any disastrous burnout.
![Page 29: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Heat Transfer Correlations in Pool Boiling• Boiling regimes differ considerably in their character.
• Different heat transfer relations need to be used for different boiling regimes.
• In the natural convection boiling regime heat transfer rates can be accurately determined using natural convection relations.
• No general theoretical relations for heat transfer in the nucleate boiling regime is
available.
• Experimental based correlations are used.
• The rate of heat transfer strongly depends on the nature of nucleation and the type and the condition of the
heated surface.

30
Film condensation• The condensate wets the surface and
forms a liquid film.• The surface is blanketed by a liquid
film which serves as a resistance to heat transfer.
Dropwise condensation• The condensed vapor forms droplets
on the surface.• The droplets slide down when they
reach a certain size.• No liquid film to resist heat transfer.• As a result, heat transfer rates that
are more than 10 times larger than with film condensation can be achieved.
Condensation occurs when the temperature of a vapor is reduced below its saturation temperature.

31
• Liquid film starts forming at the top of the plate and flows downward under the influence of gravity.
• increases in the flow direction x
• Heat in the amount hfg is released during condensation and is transferred through the film to the plate surface.
• Ts must be below the saturation temperature for condensation.
• The temperature of the condensate is Tsat at the interface and decreases gradually to Ts at the wall.
FILM CONDENSATION

32
DROPWISE CONDENSATIONDropwise condensation, characterized by
countless droplets of varying diameters on the condensing surface instead of a continuous liquid film and extremely large heat transfer
coefficients can be achieved with this mechanism.
The small droplets that form at the nucleation sites on the surface grow as a result of
continued condensation, coalesce into large droplets, and slide down when they reach a
certain size, clearing the surface and exposing it to vapor. There is no liquid film in this case to
resist heat transfer.
As a result, with dropwise condensation, heat transfer coefficients can be achieved that are
more than 10 times larger than those associated with film condensation.
The challenge in dropwise condensation is not to achieve it, but rather, to sustain it for prolonged
periods of time.
Dropwise condensation of steam on copper surfaces:

INTRODUCTIONWhenever there is an imbalance of a commodity in a medium, nature tends to redistribute it until a “balance” or “equality” is established. This tendency is often referred to as the driving force, which is the mechanism behind many naturally occurring transport phenomena.
The commodity simply creeps away during redistribution, and thus the flow is a diffusion process. The rate of flow of the commodity is proportional to the concentration gradient dC/dx, which is the change in the concentration C per unit length in the flow direction x, and the area A normal to flow direction.
kdiff is the diffusion coefficient of the medium, which is a measure of how fast a commodity diffuses in the medium, and the negative sign is to make the flow in the positive direction a positive quantity (note that dC/dx is a negative quantity since concentration decreases in the flow direction).
![Page 35: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
The diffusion coefficients and thus diffusion rates of gases depend strongly on temperature. The diffusion rates are higher at higher temperatures.The larger the molecular spacing, the higher the diffusion rate. Diffusion rate: gases > liquids > solids
![Page 36: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
ANALOGY (SIMILARITY) BETWEEN HEAT AND MASS TRANSFERWe can develop an understanding of mass transfer in a short time with little effort by simply drawing parallels between heat and mass transfer.
TemperatureThe driving force for mass transfer is the concentration difference. Both heat and mass are transferred from the more concentrated regions to the less concentrated ones. If there is no difference between the concentrations of a species at different parts of a medium, there will be no mass transfer.
![Page 37: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

38
Heat GenerationHeat generation refers to the conversion of some form of energy such as electrical, chemical, or nuclear energy into sensible thermal energy in the medium.
Some mass transfer problems involve chemical reactions that occur within the medium and result in the generation of a species throughout.
Therefore, species generation is a volumetric phenomenon, and the rate of generation may vary from point to point in the medium.
Such reactions that occur within the medium are called homogeneous reactions and are analogous to internal heat generation.
In contrast, some chemical reactions result in the generation of a species at the surface as a result of chemical reactions occurring at the surface due to contact between the medium and the surroundings.
This is a surface phenomenon, and as such it needs to be treated as a boundary condition.
In mass transfer studies, such reactions are called heterogeneous reactions and are analogous to specified surface heat flux.
![Page 39: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
ConvectionMass convection (or convective mass transfer) is the mass transfer mechanism between a surface and a moving fluid that involves both mass diffusion and bulk fluid motion. Fluid motion also enhances mass transfer considerably.
Newton’s law of cooling
Rate of mass convection
In mass convection, we define a concentration boundary layer in an analogous manner to the thermal boundary layer and define new dimensionless numbers that are counterparts of the Nusselt and Prandtl numbers.

40
MASS DIFFUSIONFick’s law of diffusion states that the rate of diffusion of a chemical species at a location in a gas mixture (or liquid or solid solution) is proportional to the concentration gradient of that species at that location.
1 Mass BasisOn a mass basis, concentration is expressed in terms of density (or mass concentration).
The density of a mixture at a location is equal to the sum of the densities of its constituents at that location.
The mass fraction of a species ranges between 0 and 1, and the sum of the mass fractions of the constituents of a mixture be equal to 1.

TYPE I STEADY MASS DIFFUSION THROUGH A WALL
Many practical mass transfer problems involve the diffusion of a species through a plane-parallel medium that does not involve any homogeneous chemical reactions under one-dimensional steady conditions.

44
TYPE III: DIFFUSION OF VAPOR THROUGH A STATIONARY GAS : STEFAN FLOW
Many engineering applications such as heat pipes, cooling ponds, and the familiar perspiration involve condensation, evaporation, and transpiration in the presence of a noncondensable gas, and thus the diffusion of a vapor through a stationary (or stagnant) gas. To understand and analyze such processes, consider a liquid layer of species A in a tank surrounded by a gas of species B, such as a layer of liquid water in a tank open to the atmospheric air at constant pressure P and temperature T.
![Page 45: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
This relation is known as Stefan’s law, and the induced convective flowdescribed that enhances mass diffusion is called the Stefan flow.
![Page 46: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
CONVECTIVE MASS TRANSFERNow we consider mass convection (or convective mass transfer), which is the transfer of mass between a surface and a moving fluid due to both mass diffusion and bulk fluid motion. The analogy between heat and mass convection holds for both forced and natural convection, laminar and turbulent flow, and internal and external flow.Mass convection is also complicated because of the complications associated with fluid flow such as the surface geometry, flow regime, flow velocity, and the variation of the fluid properties and composition.Therefore, we have to rely on experimental relations to determine mass transfer.Mass convection is usually analyzed on a mass basis rather than on a molar basis.
Concentration boundary layer: In mass convection, the region of the fluid in which concentration gradients exist.
![Page 47: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
In internal flow, we have a concentration entrance region where the concentration profile develops, in addition to the hydrodynamic and thermal entry regions.
The concentration boundary layer continues to develop in the flow direction until its thickness reaches the tube center and the boundary layers merge.
The distance from the tube inlet to the location where this merging occurs is called the concentration entry length Lc, and the region beyond that point is called the fully developed region.
![Page 48: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
SIMULTANEOUS HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
Many mass transfer processes encountered in practice occur isothermally, and thus they do not involve any heat transfer.
But some engineering applications involve the vaporization of a liquid and the diffusion of this vapor into the surrounding gas.
Such processes require the transfer of the latent heat of vaporization hfg to the liquid in order to vaporize it, and thus such problems involve simultaneous heat and mass transfer.
To generalize, any mass transfer problem involving phase change (evaporation, sublimation, condensation, melting, etc.) must also involve heat transfer, and the solution of such problems needs to be analyzed by considering simultaneous heat and mass transfer.

INTRODUCTION Radiation differs from conduction and convection in that it does not require the
presence of a material medium to take place.Radiation transfer occurs in solids as well as
liquids and gases.
The hot object in vacuum chamber will eventually cool
down and reach thermal equilibrium with its
surroundings by a heat transfer mechanism: radiation.
![Page 51: Heat and Mass Transfer Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/58f9ad74760da3da068b9863/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Accelerated charges or changing electric currents give rise to electric and magnetic fields. These rapidly moving fields are called electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiation, and they represent the energy emitted by matter as a result of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules.
Electromagnetic waves transport energy just like other waves and they are characterized by their frequency or wavelength . These two properties in a

It has proven useful to view electromagnetic radiation as the propagationof a collection of discrete packets of energy called photons or quanta.
In this view, each photon of frequency n is considered to have an energy of
The energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength.

THERMAL RADIATION
The electromagnetic wave spectrum.
The type of electromagnetic radiation that is pertinent to heat transfer is the thermal radiation emitted as a result of energy transitions of molecules, atoms, and
electrons of a substance. Temperature is a measure of the strength of these
activities at the microscopic level, and the rate of thermal radiation emission increases with increasing
temperature. Thermal radiation is continuously emitted by all matter
whose temperature is above absolute zero.
Everything around us constantly
emits thermal radiation.

In heat transfer studies, we are interested in the energy emitted by bodies because of their
temperature only. Therefore, we limit our consideration to thermal radiation.
The electrons, atoms, and molecules of all solids, liquids, and gases above
absolute zero temperature are constantly in motion, and thus radiation is
constantly emitted, as well as being absorbed or transmitted throughout the
entire volume of matter.
That is, radiation is a volumetric phenomenon.

BLACKBODY RADIATION• Different bodies may emit different amounts of radiation per unit surface area.• A blackbody emits the maximum amount of radiation by a surface at a given
temperature. • It is an idealized body to serve as a standard against which the radiative
properties of real surfaces may be compared.• A blackbody is a perfect emitter and absorber of radiation.
• A blackbody absorbs all incident radiation, regardless of wavelength and direction.

Observations from the figure• The emitted radiation is a continuous function of wavelength.
At any specified temperature, it increases with wavelength, reaches a peak, and then decreases with increasing
wavelength.• At any wavelength, the amount of emitted radiation increases
with increasing temperature.• As temperature increases, the curves shift to the left to the shorter wavelength region. Consequently, a larger fraction of
the radiation is emitted at shorter wavelengths at higher temperatures.
• The radiation emitted by the sun, which is considered to be a blackbody at 5780 K (or roughly at 5800 K), reaches its peak in the visible region of the spectrum. Therefore, the sun is in
tune with our eyes. • On the other hand, surfaces at T < 800 K emit almost entirely
in the infrared region and thus are not visible to the eye unless they reflect light coming from other sources.

RADIATIVE PROPERTIESMost materials encountered in practice, such as metals, wood, and bricks, are opaque
to thermal radiation, and radiation is considered to be a surface phenomenon for such materials.
Radiation through semitransparent materials such as glass and water cannot be considered to be a surface phenomenon since the entire volume of the material
interacts with radiation.A blackbody can serve as a convenient reference in describing the emission and
absorption characteristics of real surfaces.
Emissivity• Emissivity: The ratio of the radiation emitted by the surface at a given temperature
to the radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature. 0 1.
• Emissivity is a measure of how closely a surface approximates a blackbody ( = 1).
• The emissivity of a real surface varies with the temperature of the surface as well as the wavelength and the direction of the emitted radiation.
• The emissivity of a surface at a specified wavelength is called spectral emissivity . The emissivity in a specified direction is called directional emissivity where
is the angle between the direction of radiation and the normal of the surface.

The Greenhouse EffectGlass has a transparent window in the wavelength range 0.3 m < < 3 m in which
over 90% of solar radiation is emitted. The entire radiation emitted by surfaces at room temperature falls in the infrared region ( > 3 m).
Glass allows the solar radiation to enter but does not allow the infrared radiation from the interior surfaces to escape. This causes a rise in the interior temperature as a result of
the energy buildup in the car. This heating effect, which is due to the nongray characteristic of glass (or clear plastics),
is known as the greenhouse effect.

ATMOSPHERIC AND SOLAR RADIATIONAtmospheric radiation: The radiation energy emitted or
reflected by the constituents of the atmosphere.
The energy of the sun is due to the continuous fusion reaction during which two hydrogen
atoms fuse to form one atom of helium. Therefore, the sun is essentially a nuclear
reactor, with temperatures as high as 40,000,000 K in its core region.
The temperature drops to about 5800 K in the outer region of the sun, called the convective
zone, as a result of the dissipation of this energy by radiation.
Total solar irradiance Gs: The solar energy reaching the earth’s atmosphere is
called the
Solar constant: The total solar irradiance. It represents the rate at which solar energy is
incident on a surface normal to the sun’s rays at the outer edge of the atmosphere when the
earth is at its mean distance from the sun 67

The value of the total solar irradiance can be used to estimate the effective surface temperature of
the sun from the requirement that
The sun can be treated as a blackbody at a
temperature of 5780 K.
